CVE-2012-2451 (retired)

The Config::IniFiles module before 2.71 for Perl creates temporary fileswith predictable names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitraryfiles via a symlink attack. NOTE: some of these details are obtained fromthird party information. NOTE: it has been reported that this might onlybe exploitable by writing in the same directory as the .ini file. If thisis the case, then this issue might not cross privilege boundaries.

jdstrand> file is created in the same directory as the original file and so yama won't protect against it since this doesn't have to occur in a sticky directory. Typically would not cross privilege boundaries, but is a useful hardening measure in all cases.
